About WATERPLANET

WATERPLANET is psychedelic pop made in the post-punk afterglow. From the beginning WATERPLANET music has defied classification, tinged with imagination, anguish, and play.*
Two people, acoustic guitars, pedals, percussion, an antique snare. Vocal harmonies and instruments set off sympathetic sounds in the room as WATERPLANET members Jim and Millie exchange instruments and play. Both are imagistic songwriters of unusual songs.*
Shelly Yakus, engineer to John Lennon, U2, etc., declared WATERPLANET ahead of their time, saying their songs conjured animated movies in his mind.**********

Steve	Mar 22 2008 1:53 PM I really like the new songs - did you ever contact Andy's in Chestertown? Hope to go there tonite to see some "new grass. "
Acidjackflashed	Mar 20 2008 9:41 PM Uhm... one cd was audio, the other mp3... maybe try them both on a pc... anyway i'll be eager to copy it again if it's the case. Don't worry and don't hurry about my cds, I want you to feel free to hear 'em when you feel like doing it, and don't feel forced to write about it, keep you mind clean. I wrote a lot about it, but the thought came to me afterwards, after hearing it a couple of times. Enjoy it first. About my writings, feel free to do what you want, it's ok. Have a nice spring too in Baltimore;-)
